Today's episode features Tiffany Ran, Taiwanese American chef of Ba Ba Lio (886), BB6 Taiwanese Pop Up out in Seattle.We talked all about Tiffany's journey in the culinary world, being a chef, her Taiwanese-American upbringing, and of course, food specifically Taiwanese food and why you need to check out more than just Boba (Bubble Tea) and soup dumplings because Taiwanese food is soo good! Plus, we talked about her pop-up, Ba Ba Lio!Find Tiffany!Websitehttps://www.babaliotaiwan.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/bb6twpopup/?hl=enWhat is Ba Ba Lio (According to Tiffany):During my first few years of cooking in Seattle restaurants, I'd wrap up my shifts late at night just as the sun was rising in Taiwan. I would call home after finishing my shifts, dialling 011+886...waiting for the connection...closing my eyes as the phone rings. I'd picture that the King County bus I'm riding on would magically complete its route in front of Taipei's Nanmen Market."What are you making today?""What does the market have?"After asking these questions, my mother on the other line would fill me in on the produce at the morning wet markets and on dishes bound for the dinner table."Ba ba lio," or 8-8-6 in Chinese, is the international calling code to Taiwan, a string of numbers that tethers me to one home as I struggled to build another in a new city. BB6 Taiwanese Pop Up was born from homesickness and driven by discoveries. While our dishes are born of old Taiwan flavours, they're also peppered with new Pacific Northwest elements. I hope, from our meals, you'll discover new flavours and recall familiar ones. Please follow us and share your feelings, favourite dishes, and cravings with me. Taiwanese cuisine is, in part, about my experiences, but it's also yours. I am fortunate and so is Taiwan, to have your support! Support the showThank you for listening! Help this podcast:1. Follow us on Instagram @whatkindofasianpod 2.

~ENDING 2022 WITH A BONUS EPISODE FEATURING GABRIEL LEE OF HUGMATCH~This episode features Gabriel Lee (Korean American), head of Public Relations of HugMatch, a company that focuses on developing interactive toys for the visually impaired. Gabriel was recommended by a past guest of the show, XinYi as she had Gabriel on her podcast recently and thought that Gabriel would be a perfect fit for the show. After our recording, we couldn't agree more! In our conversation, we explored Gabriel's family journey to the west, how the family didn't intend to actually move to the West permanently at first, to him taking a journey through different occupations and studies (working at the UN,  being in the military, studying his master, teaching English in Korea) that led him to where he is now, a man with a strong distant voice, mission and purpose that he commit to in the company that he is a part of with HugMatch. We definitely talked about HugMatch, the inspiration behind it, what it is, the mission and the uniqueness of it right now as it is a company that is AAPI driven. It is a great and thoughtful conversation that you do not want to miss out on at all!

Today's episodes with the super creative and interesting XinYi Tan from the "Don't Be Strangers" Podcast.  Kyle, our host was on an episode of "Don't Be Strangers" check that out as well! EpisodeWe talked about finding your passions, creativity, being creative and loving art but not making it a career intentionally and the journey she took to become a creative chimera nomad.  More about XinYi Tan:I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and moved with my family to Dallas, Texas at age 7. My first couple of years in school were a huge struggle. English was not my first language and entering 2nd grade after skipping almost a year of school due to the move made making friends quite difficult. But even after learning English,I never felt quite at home... anywhere.Culturally, I wasn’t fully American, but when my family and I visited Malaysia, I was painfully aware that I didn’t quite belong there either. When it came to my passions, I could never make up my mind on a specific creative outlet or medium to hone — not because of indecisiveness (ok, maybe a little bit), but because I find joy in learning, remixing, and over-complicating mixed-media projects. But before I found pride in calling myself a creative chimera, I was hopelessly lost in how to identify my art and therefore myself. Being aromantic meant that I couldn’t relate to 99% of the stories represented in pop culture. ​In short, I thought I was an alien. With every friend that I’ve found (who listened to me wholeheartedly and confided in me sincerely), I began to feel less and less alien and more and more at home on Earth.  I began to feel like I belonged. XinYi's InstagramDon't Be Strangers WebsiteDon't Be Strangers SpotifyDon't Be Strangers Apple Don't be Strangers Instagram"Don't Be Strangers is a community + podcast that focuses on fighting social isolation via stories of everyday people!
